Apple users face a hard time managing their device storage and the need to transfer them is high on their agenda.
Running out of storage on your iPhone? It is time to move them.
Storage has always been a problem with iPhone users. If you also own an iPhone, there are high chance that you’ve certainly seen the ‘Storage Almost Full’ notification appear on your device several times. It says to manage your storage in settings, but most of the apps, images and videos on your device are those you don’t want to delete.
In this situation, taking a backup of your data on your Mac or a PC could be beneficial, as it will help you safely store the large files and get rid of that irritating Storage notification on your device.
